2008

Drafted out of the University of Arizona with the Phillies' third-round pick in 2006, Donald has some extra pop for a middle infielder. Given his good hands and terrific arm, he could play a bit of third base someday. His bat took a major leap forward last year after a less-than-stellar college career. He'll have to consolidate those gains in Double-A this season to prove that he deserves consideration as more than a utility player.
